Let's End "Witchhunt" Persecution in Uganda

Of course, there are no such things as witches or witchcraft. However, "Witchhunts" are regularly conducted by self-anointed Christian Evangelical "Healers" for their own gain and fame throughout Africa, with tragic and often fatal results for the victims who are usually the most vulnerable in the community.

Brendan Maher launched first ever information stall about secularism, humanism and atheism in Ireland on 6 October 2012 in Dublin's city centre. Brendan says:

"The purpose of this initiative is to furnish information on secularism, humanism and atheism to the person in the street.

This idea began about two and a half years ago when I noticed that there were about two or three street preachers in the vicinity of the GPO. Since then the number has grown to about nine. There are a range of different Christian groups and a few Islamic and Hari Krishna people. I felt that there had to be an alternative view given, a rational, ethical, scientific and realistic view of things.

Although we live in the era of the computer there are still many people who live their lives without reference to the computer. A stall like this and the personal approach can be quite effective. I do not see it as proselytising but as an information exercise to help raise awareness with regards to secularism, humanism and atheism.

Because of the success of this first event I plan to have the stall at the GPO on the first Saturday of each month from 12 to 2 pm. Perhaps this could be done in other cities in the country.

We welcome other atheists and humanists to come along, even if just for five minutes to give us some support. The next event is on 3 November."

Brendan's initiative is supported by Atheist Ireland, an Affiliate Member of Atheist Alliance International, and Atheist Alliance International.
